If you want to completely uninstall a module there is an uninstall()
function in ExtUtils::Install. But you have to find and feed it the right
.packlist. The .packlist lives in the architecture directory for the
module. Something like
/path/to/your/perl/lib/linux-686/auto/Foo/Bar/.packlist
Yes, it should be easier.
If you just want to ensure the old versions of a module deleted when you
update to a newer version, install using "make install UNINST=1".
